Sometimes adverts just pick the best time and place to make an appearance, for example this little gem appeared on Smashing magazine today.
I have completely come round to the idea that the iPad should never have a flash plugin. The picture above shows why, my Mac fans are currently having a full on fit.

The iPad and Mr Jobs will not kill Flash video embedding, as much as I would like to say the opposite, sorry Steve it’s just not going to happen. HTML 5 is ace but just being able to embed videos isn’t going to cut it, what about pre rolling adverts and interactive content, big companies aren’t just going to leave this sort of stuff behind because one device doesn’t support it.
It seems the best we can hope for from this whole ruckus is slightly faster and less buggy version of Flash for Mac and maybe a quicker adoption of HTML5 video, which wouldn’t be such a bad thing now would it.
